酷我-北美枫

(S e x, Love, and Something in Between, has been published in the April issue of Inscribed: A Magazine For Writers, a literary magazine with digital editions and recipient of Excellent 2008 of The Canadian Web Awards.

I’m extremely happy that my poem appears in a quality literary magazine whose target readers are writers of all sorts and its art design is visually impressive:











Below is the first poem sequence I wrote for my writing project entitled Sketches from the Floating World, a series of short poem sequences. Written to be my New Year's resolution, these poems are mainly reflections on Reading and Writing: Life on the Page, which was my 2008 writing project, and the poetic portrayals of slices of reality as perceived by me or represented by the media.



Sketches from the Floating World


S e x, Love, and Something in Between, Part I


I

Lust --
he sips on
a bottle of hot milk.

Hurt --
she spits out
black watermelon seeds.


II

Reading The Kamasutra
she is alone --
rain on the blossoms.

Engaging business partners
he is busy --
pants around the ankles.


III

Career woman,
devoted wife --
short day into lone night.

Struggling writer
staying at home --
day and night are the same.



to be continued ...



I’m honored to receive a short poem sequence by my poet friend, Rodney L. Eisenbrandt, in response to my own sequence,S e x, Love, and Something in Between, Part I:

I

Adoring
capsules
of blue

II

Sheath
loves
shield

III

Last night’s
decadence
morning pill



Notes:

1 The Kamasutra is the oldest surviving book concerning erotic love. It is a book not only about the various sexual positions available to lovers and the pleasures derived from each, but also about the art of living --finding a spouse, maintaining a balanced power relationship in a marriage, committing adultery, and living as or with a courtesan.

2 The Chinese word “writer” is pronounced in Mandarin the same as the Chinese phrase, “staying at home.” It was not until maybe ten years ago in Taiwan that when someone declared he wanted to be a writer, the people around him would respect his decision and understand that he would do his best to convey through his writing the true voice of the people he represented and cared about. Nowadays, when someone says he wants to be a writer, the people around him immediately take from his decision that he just wants to stay at home, doing next to nothing in terms of monetary earning.[/img]

Thanks for the read.

Adopting the principles of shasei (“sketches from life”), makoto (“truthfulness”), and everyday language that Masaoka Shiki had advocated, I try to capture one emotionally charged element situated in the physical locale through evocative images.
